November 6, 2012 - The Southeastern Technical College Board of Directors was recognized at the Technical College Directors' Association of Georgia (TCDA) conference for being 100 percent certified.

The annual TCDA Leadership Conference, this year held in Savannah from Sept. 24-26, allows technical college board members to complete the requirements to become certified by the organization.

"Becoming 'certified' denotes that a board member has the basic knowledge to answer questions about the technical college system and represent us in the community," said Dr. Cathryn T. Mitchell, president of Southeastern Tech.

The conference, often attended by college presidents, the state board, and the governor, also recognizes those members who have recently become certified. Recognized for STC were Alan Kent, Donnie Sweat, and David Walden, who then joined fellow board members Pollyann Martin, David Smith, and Judge Don Wilkes in receiving a plaque for the board's 100 percent certification rate.

"With all our board members certified, it demonstrates their commitment to the college and the board's commitment to learning what is necessary to represent the college in the community," said Mitchell.
